George Foreman Funk

Heeeeeeyyyy. Wussssuppppp.
Made this mix live, spent a bit of time tidying it up, and now it's dun'r. Mostly older soul and funk, probably pretty good to put on before you go out and get silly.
Going on cross-Canaydia trip soon to DJ, stay tuned for updates.
Mix is here.
PS Pass on to your friends and loved ones. Makes a great Christmas present, so you can be stress free in a couple of months.

Disco Edit ala David Shaw

Here's a new Disco edit by David Shaw of the MTL Loose Joints DJ's - really smooth production and a sexy molasses groove. In David's words:

Un autre edit for you to share. This one's perhaps more a remix, as there was a lot of production added. See if you can pick out what's original! Special thanks to my sister Nancy for liberating the original vinyl from an ignoble fate in a dusty bar coffin. It's a slow burner, so throw a nice piece of birch in the fireplace and pour yourself a stiff libation. Enjoy!

Claudja Barry "Love 4 The Sake Of Love" (Crisco Dancing Edit) 5:49 95bpm 320kbps

You can catch David Shaw this Saturday at LOVE DISCO STYLE avec Bain Magique for a boogie throw-down!

It's not a hobby, it's a way of life.

Check out this guy's flow haha. Does it remind anyone else of Fraggle Rock?

Stealing Hearts Just Because You Can

It's V-Day tomorrow, and love is on the ropes, getting the beats from old man money.  Why is it that people think they can buy love? Perhaps it's a tempting deal: I pay you this, you give me that. Enter Sugar Daddy stage left. Owned, just because you can.

It's a tough line to walk. The path is littered with tempting carrots, dangled within easy reach by poisoned fingers. Short cuts abound, and it's in times like these when things in life that old man money can't buy ring true.

Well I think love is pulling a rope-a-dope. Time for the KO.

In the spirit of this post here's a little edit for you, my valentines:

Dolly Parton - Jolene (F.U.N.K. Tablespoon of Love Edit)

Also V-Day night is a busy one for the Love Disco Style deejays:

Classi Assi is holding it down with NewMoney and Goldzilla at Le Bisou, 4147 St. Laurent

Also, down the street, Bain Magique and F.U.N.K. are joined by Ruby Jane for a night of sexy sounds, sweaty bodies, and ice cold drinks at Vinyl Lounge, 2109 Bleury between Dead Prez and Sherbrooke O.  

The night is dedicated to raising funds for local MTL organization, À Deux Mains/ Head and Hands

Love.

See what happens when you find a stranger in the alps?

Basically this is what happens when I end up owning music production software: I end up editing/remixing ridiculous songs. I don't know why. I suppose coming out to see my sets is like one bad joke, but nobody's laughing.

Link.

PS Playing at Blue Dog tonight. I do every Thursday for that matter. It's something you have to get off the internet to experience, though getting a 40 oz and huffing nitrous for a night might get close to it.

Nostalgia Remixed

A heavy remix of the classic track "Oh Yeah" by Yello

check it!

Also, for a laugh peep djsmack.com, you might see a few MTL celeb dj's of the olypmic persuasion.

sneak peak:

Don't Stop the Rock

So Freestyle express were Tony Butler,Garfield Baker,Byron Smith, Sherman Neely. As far as I know, Butler also cut other classic electro tracks (Debbie Deb!!!)... These guys were prolific, and a lot of their songs were soundtracks to the golden era of b-boying and locking.
The original version of this track is dope, if you like non-stop mono-tonal vocoders for several minutes (who doesn't). For playing out purposes, F.U.N.K. and I tweaked it touch and just kept the golden bit.

Classi & F.U.N.K.s tweek-a-leek here

There is also a killer version of this song re-worked by Daniel Haaksman - head of MAN recordings in Berlin, a label that specializes in Baile Funk from the slums of Rio. Frankly, I don't understand how that connection works, but the remix speaks for itself.

Haaksmans hack-up here
